[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a pandemic. If you haven’t noticed, car traffic is way way down too. Should we tear up all the roads too?[/quote] No, but we should be assessing how commuting patterns will change before we commit to new road projects. We'd be silly not to be doing similar assessments regarding the long term impact on metro riding.[/quote] I think metro like other commuter dependent businesses have their stuck their collective head in the sand on planning for what comes next. I would think that a quarter at most of pre-Covid commuters would be a realistic number to begin with. If my business relied on commuters or out-of-towners, I would be extremely concerned right now. And then what does that mean for taxes in the District? Gonna be very painful.[/quote]
